Node Details View - Change Default Time?

Is anyone aware of which config setting needs to be changed to set the default time window for reports on the NetFlow Node Details page? By default, all reports generate for a two-hour period. Several of my network engineers would like to change the default to one hour.

This option is not configurable in the admin tool for views... I assume it's set in a web config file or somewhere in the database but am unsure where to look.

Any help is appreciated.

Historical NetFlow Reports on the Network Performance Monitor Reports page are accessible by clicking Reports in the Views toolbar. After adding the report you can then click the Edit button and edit the time period to one hour. Reference page 22 for more details. www.solarwinds.com/.../NetFlowAdministratorGuide.pdf

I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing. I don't want to modify any of the reports individually. What I want to modify is the default time value for all reports on the details page. There's a drop down menu right under the page title which allows the user to select the time frame for all reports on the page. That drop down defaults to two hours. I'd like to change it, thereby altering the default time window for all reports on the page, but still allowing the user to select a different time frame if needed.

Sorry about the confusion. This ability is scheduled in a future release.

Fair enough that it will be included in the management GUI in a future release. In the meantime, for those of us comfortable enough to modify code where is that default stored? The page has to pull that parameter from somewhere, be it a web config file or within the supporting database.

I mean, really you could hack the URL that loads the details page to include ;T:Last%20Hour at the tail of the URL but I was hoping for something a bit more elegant than that.
